Fearing the same could happen to him, he was absconding. In May, he had seek anticipatory bail in the Supreme court but it dismissed his anticipatory bail plea.

The court had advised him to surrender before the concerned local court and seek a regular bail after arrest. However, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate sent Sirish to judicial custody till August 10.
